Lost Boy by Christina Henry
5.0
Bloodthirsty, twisted, dark. The classic characteristics of an excellent Christina Henry book.
I've always loved peter pan stories growing up, the dark undertones of child kidnapping and the sorts, the stories never felt fully childish/innocent. This book takes any hints of darkness and ramps it straight up to 11. The twists and turns kept me hooked through each chapter, the insane twist on the last couple pages. Everything gets wrapped up in a nice blood-stained bow in the end but is still left open, though I don't think a sequel would be needed.
I love all of CH's books, but this has to be my favourite one so far. It's just so good.
